Okay, so I need to talk about this cleanser that literally saved my face. As a sleep-deprived 23-year-old college student surviving on coffee and instant ramen, my skin was NOT having it until I found this gem on Amazon.
The BRING GREEN Tea Tree Cica Trouble Cleansing Foam caught my eye during one of my midnight shopping sprees (you know, when all the best decisions are made). I was desperate after my previous cleanser betrayed me with the worst breakout of the semester right before presentation week.
First thing you should know: this isn't like other cleansers. The foam is THICC. Like, properly thick and creamy, not that watery nonsense that disappears as soon as you put it on your face. It feels expensive even though it wasn't (thank you, Amazon sale!).
The tea tree in this is a game-changer. I've used other tea tree products that made my face feel like it was being punished for existing, but this one? The cica extract balances everything out perfectly. My roommate actually asked if I got some fancy facial because my skin looked ""weirdly good"" after using it for just a week.
Let me tell you about my ex-cleanser situationship. That popular one everyone on TikTok swears by? Total disaster. Left this weird film that I could literally see when applying toner. And don't get me started on that ""gentle"" foaming cleanser that stripped my skin barrier so bad I looked like I got sunburned in December.
The 1.8% salicylic acid in this BRING GREEN cleanser is just enough to keep breakouts in check without turning my face into the Sahara Desert. I can actually skip my moisturizer in a pinch (not that I recommend it, but college life happens) and my skin doesn't immediately protest by flaking off.
I've been in a committed relationship with this cleanser for almost a year now. If I cheat on it even for a day, my skin immediately knows and punishes me with a new pimple. It's honestly kind of creepy how dependent I've become, but I'm not complaining when my skin looks this good.
The best part? It actually removes ALL my makeup. Even that waterproof mascara that usually requires industrial-strength remover and a prayer. And my pores? They're actually visible now because they're clean, not because they're enlarged and angry.
My wallet and my face are both happier since finding this cleanser on Amazon. If you're dealing with temperamental skin that can't decide if it wants to be oily, dry, or just plain difficult, do yourself a favor and try this. Your future self with the glowy skin will thank you.
P.S. My boyfriend started stealing it, and now his skin looks better than mine. The betrayal is real, but at least we can have matching good skin days now.
